[QUOTE="EastSatsuma57, post: 195270, member: 35244"] Hi all. I am a third year non-law undergrad and have only begun my law journey within the last year. I applied for a couple of vacation schemes but wasn't successful, so I am wondering what to do next. I will be moving back home to Nottingham in the summer, and have been considering enrolling on the University of Nottingham Law LLM, or a law conversion course at the local ULaw campus (I can't afford to self fund so I would need to do a course that has government/sfe funding available). However, I also think I could spend a year applying for vac schemes for Winter 25-Summer 26, hoping to secure a TC through these. If I did this and did not sit a conversion course, I would try to find some sort of legal work – maybe secretarial or something that wouldn't require law experience – obviously this may be rather hard given the current jobs market nationally, and the commercial law market in Nottingham. I am looking for advice as to what my next steps should be. I understand that a law conversion course is not strictly required in order to secure a TC, but would it help my application at all, over the second option? My main worry is that I am unable to find legal work and have less on my CV to show my interest in commercial law. Thank you all for your help, I look forward to hearing back. [/QUOTE]
